NAME
dpkg-checkbuilddeps - check build dependencies and conflicts

SYNOPSIS
dpkg-checkbuilddeps [options] [control-file]

DESCRIPTION
This program checks the installed packages in the system against the build dependencies and build conflicts listed in the control file. If any are not met, it displays them and exits with a nonzero return code.

OPTIONS

-B  Ignore Build-Depends-Indep lines. Use when no arch-indep packages will be built.

-d build-depends-string

-c build-conflicts-string
    Use the given build dependencies/conflicts instead of those contained in the debian/control file.
